This study uses a quantitative method with a cross sectional design. The sample totaled 78 respondents who were selected using the purposive sampling technique. Data was collected through questionnaires and analyzed using the Chi-Square test. The results of the study showed that most of the elderly have a high risk of taking drugs and experiencing the incidence of gout arthritis. Bivariate analysis showed that there was a significant relationship between drug consumption and the incidence of gout arthritis (p < 0.001).
